Literal Version

7On the 4th of the ninth month (named ‘Kislev’) in the fourth year of the reign of Persian King Dareyavesh (Darius), Yahweh’s message came to Zekaryah (Zechariah).

2The people of Bethel had sent Sharetser and Regem-Melek and their men to request prayers for Yahweh’s favour. 3They asked the priests who were at army commander Yahweh’s temple, along with the prophets, “Should I fast in the fifth month to show that I’m mourning, as I’ve been doing for many years?”

4So army commander Yahweh’s message came to me: 5Ask the priests and the people all over the country, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for the past seventy years, were you truly fasting for me? 6When you ate and drank together, weren’t you yourselves just enjoying the food and drink? 7Weren’t those the same words that Yahweh proclaimed through the former prophets, when you still inhabited Yerushalem and the surrounding cities in prosperity and were settled in the Negev, and the western foothills?’ ”

7and_he/it_was in_year four of_Dārəyāvesh the_king the_word_of it_came of_YHWH to Zəkaryāh in/on/at/with_fourth of_the_month the_ninth in/on/at/with_Kişlēv/(Chislev).
2And_ Bēyt- _sent el Sharʼeʦer Sharʼeʦer and_Regem- king and_men_of_their to_entreat DOM the_face_of YHWH.
3To_say to the_priests who of_house_of of_YHWH hosts and_near/to the_prophets to_say mourn in/on/at/with_month the_fifth will_I_separate_myself just_as I_have_done this so_many years.
4and_ the_word_of _he/it_was of_YHWH hosts to_me to_say.
5Say to all_of the_people_of the_earth/land and_near/to the_priests to_say if/because you_all_fasted and_lamented in/on/at/with and_in/on/at/with and_this seventy year mmm mmm wwww.
6And_because/when you_all_eat and_because/when you_all_drink am_not are_you_all the_ones_eating and_yourselves the_drink.
7Am_not are_DOM the_words which he_proclaimed YHWH in/on/at/with_hand_of the_prophets the_former in/on/at/with_was Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) dwelling and_prosperous and_towns_of_its surrounding_of_it and_the_Negeⱱ and_the_shəfēlāh was_inhabited.

8Then Yahweh’s message came to Zekaryah: 9“Army commander Yahweh says, ‘Judge with true justice, loyal commitment, and mercy. Let everyone do that for their neighbour. 10Don’t oppress widows or orphans, foreigners or poor people, and none of you should plot any harm against another person, even in your mind.’

11But they refused to pay attention, turning away stubbornly and blocking their ears so they couldn’t hear. 12They made their hearts as hard as rock so they couldn’t hear the written law or army commander Yahweh’s contemporary messages. He’d sent those messages to the people by his spirit in earlier times through the words of the prophets, but the people refused to listen, so army commander Yahweh was very angry with them. 13And so it was that when he called, they didn’t listen. In the same way,” said army commander Yahweh, “they’ll call out to me for help, but I won’t listen. 14I’ll use a whirlwind to scatter them to other nations that they’ve never been to before. Then the land here will become desolate after they’ve gone because no one will pass through this land or return to it since the people have made their pleasant country into a wasteland.”

8and_ the_word_of _he/it_was of_YHWH to Zəkaryāh to_say.
9Thus YHWH he_says hosts to_ justice_of _say faithfulness judge and_kindness and_compassion do each with his/its_woman.
10And_widow and_orphan the_sojourner and_poor do_not oppress and_evil_of each his/its_woman do_not plan in/on/at/with_hearts_of_your_all’s.
11And_refused to_pay_attention and_turned a_shoulder stubborn and_ears_of_their they_made_heavy from_hear.
12And_hearts_of_their they_made diamond not_hear DOM the_law and_DOM the_words which he_had_sent YHWH hosts in/on/at/with_spirit_of_his in/on/at/with_hand_of the_prophets the_former and_ severe_anger _he/it_was great from_with YHWH hosts.
13And_he/it_was as_when he_called and_not they_listened so they_called and_not I_listened YHWH he_says hosts.
14And_scattered_witha_whirlwind_them to all_of the_nations which not known_them and_the_earth it_was_desolate behind_them no_coming and_from_going and_made a_land_of desire into_desolate.
